Werewolf - can we have a word from devs about them?

Nitratas · April 2014

Hello,

if anyone tried out werewolf skill tree or at least checked out World skills category of these forums should have noticed that werewolf's mechanic is bugged, broken, weak, useless. It's clearly that it was a last minute decision to put it in the game or it just was created too hastily without overthinking too much.

Ok the thing is - can we have a word from developers or community managers? Are you at least looking into it? Are you planning to improve it? PLease just check the World skill forums, they are filled with brilliant posts and ideas about werewolf skill line.

In current state i cannot invest skillpoints in it. Its just useless vanity thing. If we heard anything from the devs we/I could plan about our skillpoints distribution.

On my VR1 Nightblade tank I currently level I can headbutt with 3-4 VR1 mobs and come out of the fight with 100% HP. When I transform to Werewolf, I come out with like 60% HP (and no way to heal)... against 1 mob. 2 mobs? HA! Forget about it. Cant survive for ***. The damage is mediocre, survivability is very poor and there are literally no skills available other than a fluff pounce (it doesnt really do much) and presumably devour or something that's not available until late down the line. It takes *ages* to level it with the insane ultimate cost so I wouldnt really know that.

Meanwhile you hear stories of immortal vampires owning entire zergs... Bah.

Cant we just change the werewolf into a scrib transformation? At least that would mean you're not as visible on the battlefield and more fitting to its strength.

I WAS a werwolf....for 5 days-__-. When i first heard of these supernatural lines. I was thinking "cool. i like werewolves, YAY for me!"
I ignored the skill line descriptions, thinking..."they wouldn't make a skill line which is TOTALLY USELESS now would they? I'm sure there is SOME viability. veryone is just being negative!"
So i got bitten, happily did the werewolf quest and was happy....Untill i actually tried PLAYING it.
MY god....what a USELESS PIECE OF MONKEY CRAP. Now i'm sure a bunch of you will jump on and say HEY! by doing this and that and this! It's really good.
My argument to that is, you take SO MUCH MORE effort to play a werewolf to what? Kill slower? Die faster? have to find bodies to use a BUGGED devour on to survive?
Its faster to kill as a NON werewolf....

I've since turned vamp. No choice. the perks are just to good to ignore. Not gonna talk more about vamp. Don't wanna get MYSELF NERFED.

But honestly. right now as it is....even if u LIKE werewolf and HATE vamp. U WILL go vamp or stay human rather than becoming a werewolf. The werewolf is the most underpowered useless fluff line i ever seen in any game. ANYTHING you can do as a werewolf, some other ALREADY EXISTING class which requires less effort can do better.

Either they will buff it or someone will come along and play it to its full potential. One or the other usually happens (sometimes both then it gets funny cause of the oh crap moment game companies have towards that situation).

Still no word from devs?

I finally got bit and now in Hircine's Gift I can't attack the Mammoth. Any suggestions?

leave and come back in 5-10 mins and hopefully you get one of the other elites that can spawn (the frost troll is non-elite and much easier), mammoth is easier than the regular troll or the snake elites.
